The above are taken from the journals of the late A. M. Mackay, brought to England b.\ 

 Dr. Junker. The temperatures are the means of observations made between January 188* 

 and June 1886. They have b^en corrected for supposeil index errors, but the mean maximt 

 appear to be still very much ton high. In November 18S5 the thermometer was removed t< 

 the north side of the house, and the mean maximum .at once fell from 91-2° in October to 83-4' 

 in November 1885. The mean for the mouths November to June, before the removal, was 

 84-5", after the removal only sa-O". According to observations made by Rev. E. Millar in 

 1893, the mean of all maxima was 8V8^ that of .all minima 52-1° (see Third Report).
